VR Demos and Donut Photo Booths

2017/07/17

Happy Monday!

Thursday’s Wieden+Kennedy event was a smashing success. We had great VR demos with Unity, an LED wearable workshop led by engineers of the Lodge team and a donut photo booth: a booth that printed sugar-spun icing photos onto donuts, letting you eat your own face.

Thanks so much to the ladies of W+K and Women Who Code who made everything possible- and who sang “Happy Birthday” to me at the end of the event.

Here’s what’s going on in Portland this week and next week:

Events

Thurs, 7/26: JavaScript Study Night. The Javascript study night is always one of my favorite Women Who Code study nights. This week, we’ll be working through a Wes Bos tutorial and pairing on any existing projects.

Wired had an article this week that was getting passed around my Twitter timeline, about making code more tinkerer friendly. I remember messing with my first bits of code on Xanga and Gaia Online, and love the concept.

Speaking of tinker-friendly: I want to give a shout out to Glitch, which I just started using for a Leaflet project with Hack Oregon; you can view and remix my project here. Uses some QGIS and geoJSON, but would love people to tinker with it.
